Gov. Scott (FL) takes fight over his Gmail to California – Miami Herald [View all]
After striking out in Florida court, Gov. Rick Scott has hired a California law firm to fight the subpoena ordering Google to release details about private email accounts believed to be used by the governor and his staff to conduct public business.
California attorney John A. Hartog filed a petition in Santa Clara County court on Friday attempting to quash the release of what could be potentially embarrassing details about the use of Gmail accounts held by the governor and two of his staff.
The decision to carry the fight to California came after Tallahassee Circuit Court Judge Charles A. Francis twice ordered the governor and his lawyers to stop fighting the request for basic information from Tallahassee attorney Steven R. Andrews.
Andrews is seeking documents that identify the IP address of the Gmail accounts held by the governor, first lady Ann Scott’s former assistant Sarah Hansford, and Scott’s former assistant Brad Piepenbrink.
